Gold back to challenge resistance once more
Gold prices retraced a marginal amount overnight, with price turning higher once more this morning. With both Fibonacci (76.4%) and trendline resistance in close proximity, we need to see an hourly close above $1251 to provide confidence of further gains.
That said, be aware we are gradually moving towards the $1264 resistance level. That level will be crucial to the outlook of gold, where a break through it would provide a medium-term bullish view to match the short-term outlook.
